The affordable 4G smartphone segment in India saw a major boost in 2015 as customers found themselves spoilt for choice with brands — both national and international — offering their products at exciting price ranges.

According to #FlipTrends, a year-ender report by online marketplace Flipkart, the popularity of these smartphones clearly shows the digital consumers’ shift towards 4G-enabled phones.

The e-commerce site said that Lenovo emerged as the favourite smartphone brand of the year with two 4G models from the Chinese multinational — the Lenovo A6000 plus and Lenovo K3 Note — featuring in the list of top 10 smartphones sold in 2015.

Motorola closely followed with two smartphones, Moto G 3rd Gen and Moto E 2nd Gen featuring at the third and sixth position, respectively.

Xiaomi Mi 4i and Redmi Note 4G took the fourth and fifth spots, followed by Samsung Galaxy On7, Samsung Galaxy J7, Micromax Canvas Xpress 2 and Asus Zenfone 5.
